ALT Text says 1 YEAR AGO MICHAEL SHEEN PAID OFF THE DEBTS OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN PORT TALBOT So what’s happened since then? > A photograph shows Michael Sheen standing, looking at the camera, in front of a tale with piles of bank notes on top of it.
ALT Text says: Michael Sheen used his own money to wipe off a million pounds’ worth of debt. But he didn’t do it just to make a difference to people’s lives. He did it to shine a spotlight on the fact that the whole system needs to change. A photograph shows Michael Sheen sitting at a table smiling, in conversation with two older men.
ALT Text says "MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING IS TO MAKE A STATEMENT, TO SAY THAT WE NEED A FAIR CREDIT SYSTEM." Michael Sheen Michael joined the Fair Banking for All Campaign, a coalition of organisations calling for a Fair Banking Act.
ALT Text says A Fair Banking Act would mean that banks have to disclose information on who they lend to, and be given a rating based on whether they’re lending fairly. If banks get a poor rating, they’d have to take action - they could either expand their own affordable credit programmes, or work with ethical, not-for-profit lenders like credit unions & CDFIs. A photograph shows Michael Sheen wearing a coat and scarf, speaking to the camera, with one fist raised.
ALT Two men and two women stand together indoors, smiling at the camera. The man on the left wears glasses and a checked shirt. Next to them is a woman in a patterned blazer. The third person, wearing a dark jacket, holds a leaflet that says “Fair Banking For All.” The fourth person, in a grey blazer, also holds a leaflet with the same text. The group is in a well-lit lobby with stairs and wooden paneling in the background.
